237 Lady Qiu

Nanny Bai smiled even more happily and handed a letter to Yu Youyao. This is a letter from Fifth Miss to Eldest Miss. She specially asked me to pass it to her.

Yu Youyao took the letter happily. This is the first time I've received a letter from someone. I have to go back and read it carefully.

After a few more pleasantries, Nanny Bai was about to leave. She happily let Nanny Liu send her out of the house.

Yu Youyao was not in a hurry to leave. She planned to spend more time with her grandmother.

At this moment, Qing Xiu came over. Old Madam, Lady Qiu is here. She wants to greet you.

In the family, a concubine like Concubine He could not often approach Old Madam, not to mention that Lady Qiu was only a concubine.

Old Madam Yu's heart stirred. Are you going to mention Concubine?

Qing Xiu nodded. I just received the news. First Madam said that it was a good day tomorrow, so she picked a festive outfit from her closet and gave it to Lady Qiu. She asked her to wear it tomorrow night and come to the residence in a small sedan chair.

Old Madam Yu sneered. She's rushing to welcome her into the house, afraid that she'll be a little late. This is the first time I've seen this. She's really afraid that I'll really find a noble concubine for Eldest Son.

Yu Youyao wanted to laugh when she heard this.

Her grandmother had just said yesterday that she was going to nominate Lady Qiu to be a concubine. Yang Shuwan did not even protest and was going to welcome her home the next day.

Although there was nothing particular about mentioning a concubine, she would be dressed in festive clothes and have a red flower on her head. She dressed well and used a small sedan chair to be carried into the residence through the side door. Then, she went to the main courtyard and kowtowed to the mistress. She served tea and let the mistress put on the airs of a proper wife. The mistress would explain the rules of the residence and some of her duties as a concubine. Finally, she was sent to the Rain Autumn Courtyard and the ceremony was completed.

However, this was also because her father taking in concubines was a serious matter. He would spend a few days managing it well.

Yang Shuwan was probably thinking that Old Madam had even dealt with Mu Jin this time. It was obvious that she was really angry with her.

Old Madam was the one who had taken the initiative to mention Concubine Qiu as the new concubine. She had even threatened her with a noble concubine. She had no choice but to do it. If she were to delay it, Old Madam would probably be displeased. Not only would she take the opportunity to vent her anger, but it would also be bad if she really took in a noble concubine for her father.

She might as well throw away her dignity and finish her business first.

This idea was not wrong. It could even be said to be very shrewd.

Yu Youyao was a little impressed by Yang Shuwan. It was true that she couldn't show her face in public, but when it came to her own interests, she was more shrewd than anyone else. She could even bear to lose her face more than ordinary people.

Even though she often made stupid moves, she never stopped.

It wasn't that Grandmother couldn't guess Yang Shuwan's thoughts. It was also because she had guessed that she felt annoyed. However, no matter how annoyed she was, she couldn't do anything about it.

Old Madam Yu instructed Qing Xiu, Bring her in!

When the concubine entered, the first day was to kowtow to the mistress.

On the second day, after gaining the favor of the young master of the residence, her status as the concubine could be truly confirmed. Only then would she have to kowtow and greet the elders in the family.

Lady Qiu had yet to officially acknowledge her, but she had already come over to greet her. It was obvious that she remembered their previous relationship as master and servant and had come over to show her loyalty. She had to meet her.

Not long after, Qing Xiu led Lady Qiu into the house.

Lady Qiu was wearing a new lotus-colored robe. She followed behind Qing Xiu obediently and knelt in front of Old Madam Yu.

My parents passed away early when I was young. There were a few younger brothers and sisters in the family who I had to support. They were constantly worried about not having a next meal. It was Old Madam who pitied my family and brought me into the residence to serve you. Only then could I live well in the family. She even gave me the blessing of serving Eldest Master. I don't dare to forget Old Madam's kindness to me for a moment.

With that, she kowtowed to Old Madam Yu.

Old Madam Yu said calmly, Get up!

Only then did Lady Qiu stand up obediently.

Yu Youyao sized up Lady Qiu.

Lady Qiu was petite, so her figure was surprisingly slender. She looked very beautiful and elegant. Her looks had finally reached her father's heart. No wonder he doted on her so much.

In the past, considering that Lady Qiu was a concubine, it was not good for him to always go to her room. Now that she became his concubine

Her grandmother's methods were really impressive. Yu Youyao picked up her tea and drank it.

When Old Madam Yu saw that Lady Qiu had sat down and was still a little reserved, she said, Since you've been brought into the household, you're still a legitimate concubine. I'll get Nanny Liu to prepare 50 bundles of betrothal gifts. Tomorrow, she will tie a red silk cloth and find a few people to carry them. They'll play the drums along the way and send them to your house. Then, I'll bring your family over to meet us. It'll be considered a form of etiquette for your parents.

This arrangement was very dignified. Lady Qiu knelt on the ground in excitement. Thank you, Old Madam.

Seeing that she was still sensible, Old Madam Yu said, Since you've become a concubine, you should serve Eldest Master well in the future and help the Yu Residence grow as soon as possible.

As an old woman, she should not be the one saying unnecessary things.

Lady Qiu agreed repeatedly!

When Yu Youyao returned to the Jade Courtyard, she instructed Dong Mei, Pick two pieces of festive material from my closet and a few pieces of jewelry for Lady Qiu.

Dong Mei nodded in agreement.

Yu Youyao went to the study and opened the letter Tang Yunxi had written to her.

In her letter, apart from thanking her, Tang Yunxi also mentioned that her grandmother was not in good health. Her mother planned to use this as an excuse to let her stay in Hui Ning Nunnery for a month to pray for her grandmother.

Tang Yunxi was not yet grown up. It was not appropriate for her to go to the nunnery alone. She needed two capable nannies to follow her.

First Madam Tang naturally went to the Education Department and invited Nanny Zhang, who was proficient in body-modeling and had some skills in recuperating, into the residence.

At home, Aunt Ye only thought that Tang Yunxi was not liked by Old Madam in the residence. Tang Yunxi had also grown up, so her future depended on her husband's words. First Madam Tang was muddle-headed, so she thought of such a foolish method to curry favor with Old Madam. She would not suspect anything, so naturally, she would not stop her.

After all, if Tang Yunxi did not look outstanding, she would not have a good future.

In the letter, Tang Yunxi said, Actually, I don't want to stay in the residence either. It's quiet in the nunnery. Hui Ning Nunnery is also a big nunnery. There are nobles who have become monks in the palace. There are also soldiers stationed at the nunnery. It's also peaceful. When I'm in the nunnery, I can try the medicinal cuisine recipe you gave me.

After Yu Youyao saw it, she couldn't help but sigh. Eldest Madam Tang has also made thorough plans for Eldest Sister Tang Wu. I hope that Fifth Sister Tang will really use those medicinal recipes.

Otherwise, it would be a disappointment.

At the thought of this, Yu You also realized that she had been a little rash. If I had known earlier, I wouldn't have
